UART Mapping

SERIAL0 -> USB (OTG1)
SERIAL1 -> USART1 (Telem1)
SERIAL2 -> USART6 (Telem2)
SERIAL3 -> USART3 (GPS1), NODMA
SERIAL4 -> USART2 (GPS2), NODMA
SERIAL5 -> UART8 (SBUS)
SERIAL6 -> UART7 (Debug), NODMA
SERIAL7 -> USB2 (OTG2)

RC Input

The remote control signal should be connected to the “RC IN” pin, at one side of the servo channels.

This signal pin supports two types of remote control signal inputs, SBUS and PPM signals.

PWM Output

The A6SE supports up to 11 PWM outputs,support all PWM protocols as well as DShot. All 11 PWM outputs have GND on the bottom row, 5V on the middle row and signal on the top row.

The 11 PWM outputs are in 4 groups:

PWM 1, 2, 3 and 4 in group1
PWM 5, 6, 7 and 8 in group2
PWM 9, 10, 11 in group3

Channels 1-8 support bi-directional Dshot. Channels within the same group need to use the same output rate. If any channel in a group uses DShot, then all channels in that group need to use DShot.

GPIOs

All 11 PWM channels can be used for GPIO functions (relays, buttons, RPM etc).

The pin numbers for these PWM channels in ArduPilot are shown below:

PWM Channels	Pin	PWM Channels	Pin
PWM1	50	PWM8	57
PWM2	51	PWM9	58
PWM3	52	PWM10	59
PWM4	53	PWM11	60
PWM5	54
PWM6	55
PWM7	56

Analog inputs

The A6SE flight controller has 5 analog inputs

ADC Pin4 -> Battery Current
ADC Pin2 -> Battery Voltage
ADC Pin8 -> ADC 3V3 Sense
ADC Pin10 -> ADC 6V6 Sense
ADC Pin11 -> RSSI voltage monitoring

Build the FC

./waf configure --board=YJUAV_A6SE ./waf copter

The compiled firmware is located in folder "build/YJUAV_A6SE/bin/arducopter.apj".

Loading Firmware

The A6SE flight controller comes pre-installed with an ArduPilot compatible bootloader, allowing the loading of *.apj firmware files with any ArduPilot compatible ground station.
